Description

Metal Oxide - Chalcogenide Hybrids for Photoelectrochemical and Photoelectrolytic Solar Cells investigates recent advances in the field of metal oxides–chalcogenide hybrids and their application in solar cells. Chapters provide detailed and comprehensive descriptions of the fundamentals, synthesis, characterization, and designs of metal oxides–chalcogenide materials for photoelectrochemical and photoelectrolytic applications. Due to their unusual features such as planar morphology, catalytic edge effects, and variable bandgap energies, 2D metal oxides and chalcogenides are prime candidates for development in the process of photoelectrochemical water splitting.

The incorporation of 2D materials has several benefits, including broadening the wavelength range over which the material absorbs visible light; improving charge carrier separation due to the formation of a favorable interface; dramatically increasing photocurrent; and increasing the stability of metal oxide photoelectrodes. The book is suitable for scientists, engineers, and researchers working in the areas of materials science, nanoscience, and nanotechnology.
